Chapter 1837 - She Didn’t Make A Move (2/2)

“You’re here. Wait for us to finish this game.” The Prince of Great Yu said.

Sima You Yue looked at Yu Yan who was studying the game intently and wondered how the obvious love and doting for him could be concealed from others’ eyes.

“In the eyes of others, I am just a sick child who doesn’t have a long lifespan. Even if Father dotes on me more, others won’t care.” At some point without her noticing, Yu Yan raised his head and replied to her with a smile.

“Huh?” Sima You Yue was stunned, how did he know what she had been thinking about?

“Your thoughts are very obvious. Besides, if I told you I can read minds, would you believe me?” Yu Yan asked.

“I don’t believe you. If you can read minds then you won’t lose this round.” Sima You Yue said.

Yu Yan raised his eyebrows, how was she so sure that he would lose?

Sima You Yue smiled and motioned for him to continue. Indeed, after a while, he lost.

“How did you know?” Yu Yan asked.

“I guessed. Prince, let’s get ready to start!” Sima You Yue said.

“Alright!” The Prince of Great Yu stood up, ” Are we still going to the hot springs?”

“Yes.” Sima You Yue replied.

They went over to the hot springs together. However, this time, she didn’t ask Yu Yan to hold the silver needles because they had prepared a stone table in advance where she could place the box of silver needles on.

After she had finished the acupuncture treatment, the Prince of Great Yu felt much better.

“After your last acupuncture treatment my body felt so much better. After your acupuncture treatment this time, my body feels even better. Will acupuncture treatment really not cure my injury?”

“This is only temporary.” Sima You Yue said, “Right now I am just forcing the cold and the forbidden drugs in your body into a corner of your body. I won’t be able to suppress it the more it accumulates, and the rebound effect will be even more powerful. If I don’t have the items I need by then, I won’t be able to do anything more. Why are those items so hard to find?”

“One or two of the items are more difficult to get hold of. However, we have already obtained their whereabouts and have sent men to find them. We will have news in a couple of days.” Yu Yan said.

“Then we will wait two more days.” Sima You Yue said, ” The Prince’s condition cannot be dragged on any longer, the sooner we can find them the better. If we drag on any further, even if we can cure his injury, it may affect his cultivation level.”

“We understand. Once we have obtained the items, we will send someone to find you!” Yu Yan said.

“Alright.”

In the end, it was Yu Yan who escorted her back again.

“The Princess Consort said today that she will be holding a small banquet and she is inviting the Duke and his children. I think she is coming after you.”

“She is going through great lengths!” Sima You Yue pursed her lips, she didn’t think that the Princess Consort would be able to kill her this way.

“You killed her Dream Realm Ancestor and Double Fiend Black Shadow consecutively. And you don’t leave the inn at all either. Naturally, she will try to find a way to lure you in.”

“Double Fiend Black Shadow? Who is that?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Double Fiend Black Shadow are two of her most powerful assassins. What, did you not kill them?”

“No, I only encountered Dream Realm Ancestor, I never met any Double Fiend Black Shadow.” Sima You Yue said with certainty.

“Could it be the Duke or someone else?” Yu Yan asked.

“Impossible, if they were killed by my father or my Uncle Mo Zhi, they would tell me and advise me to be careful when I go out. But they’ve not mentioned it. Are you sure they both died after they came to kill me?” Sima You Yue asked

“I’m sure of it.” Yu Yan was certain of this. When he saw her expression, he asked, ” Why, who do you think it is?”
